satellite images for providing erosion types maps was investigated. With
regards to the lack of visual distinction of surface, rill and small gully
erosions on the satellite image after processing, photomorphic units with
attention to color, tone, texture, drainage pattern and other image characteristics,
were differentiated on color composite by the screen digitizing methods.
Photomorphic units map as a model was crossed by ground truth maps of
surface, rill and gully erosion; and erosion features map. Results indicated
that the greatest accuracy and precision of model is related to providing
gully erosion map, although it also is suitable in providing surface and
rill erosion maps.]]>Alavi Panah, S.K.,20042004Allan James, L., D.G. Watson and F.H. William,200771132144Boardman, J., A.J. Parsons, R. Holland, P.J. Holmes and R.
